Bringing together subjects such as culture, religion, morals, politics, economics, and mentality, Perkin presents and applies a holistic concept of social history in the tradition of great historians of the past.
In this classic text of social history, Harold Perkin explores the emergence of a new form of class society in Victorian England, which differed radically from early mode society. He locates the origins of the mode English class system in the Industrial Revolution, the impact of which went beyond economy and technology, and changed the ways of living and perceptions of the English people in many ways.
